[THL IMt .l We certainly are not able to affirm that a satis factory light NO yet been tin-own upon the state of parties in the Russian Empire, by any, or all, Of the piecemeal - aceounts which have succes -t 'ft • l aively got into circa . is. we are told that oaths'of 'Ullegiance . had 'been taken by Ni doles, as well as by the Guards and Senate at fi eointimil, 'to Constantine,' 'as"'Alexander'a Vittiral - heir. Next;' that from some cause or other, which is not in evidence, nor in any man ner authenticoed„ . thesante' 'Nicholas accepted, or assumed, in his own person, the Crown which ate had already recognized `by 'oath to be his tether's Thirdly, the storiel'go on 'to as ittirti;itts that some of the soldiers qnartered in 41W capital, who' felt that oaths were not third;; be trifled with, or who perhaps' were better iilOased with the first disinterested choice of an Emperor made by Nicholas tha n with . the streend object of his election, -murmured' and 'refused to acknowledge him for . their Sove reign, to the 4'*Clusiion of Constrrntine,' whom they had but a few days previously, in com mon with Nicholas,' sworn, to obey—that the Empress Mother, who had not in the time of Alexander been permitted to pay a very prominent part upon the stage, ordered the Guards to fire on the regiment who adhered to Constantine ; and that after the • loss of some -hundreds of lives, the refractory were quelled, Owl Nicholas proclaimed Emperor of Russia. 'lt is added, that the manifesto of Nicholas, en his accession has reached officially the British Go vernment. Now it must be at once admittedl that some strange concealments of 'facts appear to run through the above narrations. The ques tions bow ? and why ? are en every man's lips ssflto heirs the circumstances. We are bound to beiie've that. Constantine was proclaimed by Ni *lleitis immediately on the news of Alexander's 'death being announced to him. Nobody pre tends that Nicholas was then, ignorant of the for mal renunciation of the throne which Constantine had executed some years before. On the con trary, he is said on all hands to hose alleged his resolution to wave the rights accruing to him under ir,and to submit himself to the authority of his, bro ther, What,then,induced Nicholas to change this resolution ? A second declaration, it is pretended,of Constantine, to abide by the first, and to re !Winne the Etnpire. Now of this subsequent display oflelf denial, we repeat that no particle of testimony worth serious notice has, transpired. If such an instrument, for it must surely have been it, writing;had reached the hands of Nicho las or his'Mother, the very earliest, impulse of policy end common sense would no .doubt have been to make it instantly public. .-- not tesay that such a State Paper had arrived, but to print and publish it for the whole of Europe.. We do not deny that Constantine may have spontaneously abdiCated the throne of a mighty empire; hut since it is the most unnatural thing in the world that he should have done so, we merely contend that it is of all things on earth the most inert-- dible, withotit occular or other positive demon stration.' The causes assigned are as extraor" dinar, Ob the fact asserted = —that the wife of Con 'tontine is a Catholic, and therefore could not share her heshand's throne. Of whet religion, then, was the Empress Mother Fedeorowna, be fote'ller marriage With the son Of 'Catherine ? Of whit Church teas Elizabeth, the Empress Dow, ogoir,`before She left her father's Court at Baden.? or what church was the Prussian Priecess her. telf - -;-the wife of Nicholas--tile Emperor —now, a" we are telt!, reigning! No: that tale has folly triton the face of it. Again the fondnes.; of Con. silt/tine for his spouse prevailed upon hint to surrender a dignity from which she must have been excluded! 84 if there was any rank within the - r oalth to which 'a Russian - Autocrat once Wielding the sceptre could not raise his wife! MO" was Catherine ? Who were two of Cethe rine% predecussors ? Were they daughters of Crowned Heads ? A. deed, it seeins, was ex, c'ented five years ago, by which this Lady was barred from the throne but if Constantine were (dice seated there, who vvoold venture to insist on the pro Visions of such a compact, nt the risk of tosiritt Isla head before he quitted the Imperial presence ? Upon the whole it is unlikely—we rA poi: say it is impossible,—that Constantine should have given a free consent to his own per.. sons! ; and it the enusent has not been 'freely given, how long will it endure ? [MORNING POST.] The reports of military disturbances of St. POtersburgh, which we gave in our last, were rally confirmed yesterday by the arrival of Wed. nesday's Male with official details of the events which mide the Ittmino capital a scene of con flict and of blood. These details will be found it foil length in as preceding column. We a retaii _k mow that Nicholas had read the renunci ation of his Brother to the Senate on the 25th ditond after sccepting the Crown had been proclaimed Emperor. The next day he publish. ed - a Manifesto, " remarkably well drawls np," we'are told, in which he stated, 44 with touch penpiciiity and historical precision the renuncia tiOntof Constantine." This Manifesto was nem by the diplomatic acts by which it was attested, The Same day the Regiments of Guards were to lake the oath of allegiance to the littqfi Emperor. All had taketi it heartily Joss than • two weeks before to Constantiue, and Lad thus proclaimed the unanimity of their feel• itur,s towards him. ft soon became apparent that the same unanimity did not prevail towards choler. Instead. Of obeying the order which directed them to draw'op in the morning, some o f t h em re mained in their quarters. The Moscow Regiment, Constantioe's own, gave the example of resistance but was not the only one who op: , posed Nicholas. Some of its grenadier compa. vita sallied forth With their' colours, proceeded to the Squate of Isaac and re-proclaimed' Con. stantine Emperor. The Regiment of Body Guards immediately joined them, then the Ma. rives of the Guard, and " great numbers of the people," which contradicts the original assertion that the people had taken no part in the contest, and sliews that Constantine's popularity: s not limited to the army. [rot yr] sn vans.] The Etoile of Wedues(Aay confirms the intelli gence of the unsuccessful revolt at 'St. ,Peters burgh iu favour of Constantine. It appears, as we stated yesterdly, that the mutiny began with the Moscow regiment, of which he is, or sus, commander. They probably supposed thut Nicholas was acting treasonably towards his brother, and therefore, instead of transferring their allegiance, they sallied from, their barracks with their colours, and proclaimed Constantine I, They were joined by the grenadier regiment of the bodyguard and the marines of the guard, and their number 80011 amount4,to nearly 2,000 rmen. General Miloradovitch, in attempting to harangue them, was killed by a pistol shot. The Emperor Nicholas hiMself addressed' them without etrect, explaining the circumstances under which his brOther had renounced his right of inheritance. The mutineers were ob stinately deaf. The other troops in the : garrison and the artillery were. then ordered to advance, and the rebels were attacked, dispersed; and pursued in every direction. About WO are stated to have perished on this melancholy occa sion. Would that this may be the only blood shed ins settling the succesion to the Russian throne! By allvices received yesterday in the City from Berlin, we learn that an extraordinary courier, had arrived there from St. Petersburgh. lie left that capital on the (27th of December, the (lay following the revolt. At that time public order was, to all appearance, fully restored. A grand Court (lay had taken place, at which all the Nobility had attended t, : otrer their congra tulations to the new Ernperff on his accession. Te Deuat rhad been sung in all the churches, and Nicholas, in person, had presented colours to the regiments composing the garrison of St. Pe tersbucgh.—On the morning of the 26th a mani festo was published, detailing the circumstances of CO115(1111611403 abdication. This will be a highly interesting document. The public will look for its arrival with great anxiety. Until we have it, we must refrain from speculating on the extraordinary transaction which Europe has just witnessed. EIIOIINING CIIIIONICLX.I It cannot he surprising to see the Money Marke ►► feverish state, when 11e reflect on the info, once of two important circumstances. The first is, that the Bank of England must contract its quantity of paper, issued during the late panic, or the exchange will go against us ; and they can only do this by being more limitted in discounts, by re-selling the Exchequer Bills they bought lately to relieve the market, and by obliging per= sons to whom they lent money on stock to redeem Ihe same. The second is, the certainty of a.large funding of Exchequer Bills, some of our cotton poraries say 13,000,00001., but we say at least twenty millions (even if no danger exists from abroad); for no Minister ought to have such an unfunded debt as now exists in the country during an unrestricted state of gold currency. if the Mi nister means to go back to 1797, and restrict the Bank from issuing gtdd, then, indeed, he might throw as many Exchequer Bills as he pleased on the market, and the Bank might purchase as'it choso, without danger but, under present cumstances, we know of nothing that would bring us to such a recurrence of bad measures as an over issue of Exchequer Bills, and the Minister himself must know this full well; and it is for these reasons that we would say twenty millions a t l eas t, sh o uld he funded, and from what we hear, must he funded when Parliament meets. We did not advert to the felling off of the Revenue while the present dullness of trade lasts; for, if trade does not revive, the working population of the country, during the present high prices of provisions, cannot consume those articles to near so large an extent on which revenue is collected, us if they were in ploy, and prices of provisions moderate. Here, then, is another cause for fever in the Money Market, as well as that caused I►y the division of the greatest part of the Sinking Fund, from its daily operation on the Money Market, to the discharge of other debts. [Tit PUOLIC LEDGER:I It h stated in The Algemeine Zeihmg, which has reached us to the Oth inst. that the Porte has actutilly come to the determination of opening negociations with the Greeks. It quotes letters of the 7th from Constantinople, as its au thority for this assertion, and even mentions the names of the Officers who have been selected for this important mission. On account of the general inaccuracy, and almost proverbial par tiality, of that Paper, whenever the afttira of Greece are concerned, we have scarcely no. tired this statement, but that the letters from the' Turkish Capital, by the Mail of yester day, contain the same intelligence, and with this addition, that the mission had actually set out for its destination. it would he risking too much to offer a positive opinion as to the mo tives w hi c h have influenced the Porte in coming to this sudden resolution. One inducement tnuy he, this belief entertained by the Porto, that this obstinate contest is brought at last to that point, where its speedy termination may be calculated 'upon as a matter of positive certainty. In this case, it would of course see the necessity of having persons on the spot, conversant in the d"Kils of administration, to make Midi arrange " 1 " 1 " its the state of the country would re quire, after such a devastating warfare, in the ""r"' °I which the Turkish t‘uthorities have been either exterminated or forced to save themselves by t 3 gt,t. in the first place, it would be their 'duty to create, anew, all the branches, of PUblit. .Administrar• • Ithe next t‘in , ant in ne xt , to appoint, competent persons to discharge the functions annexed' t 4 them.

[HORNING HERALD. There is often the same kind of arrogance and self-sufficiency observable in the conduct and demeanour of nations towards each other as we -witness among individuals. The man of rank, as he is called, or the possessor of some College degree, is apt to look down with scorn upon the humble ebttager, as one belonging to an inferior race of beings, though the latter, perhaps, upon examination, turns out to possess and prac. tice the social duties and affections of life with a truth tad tenderness not to be found in the for mer. So it is with what we deem civilised na tions,such as France, Spain, and Englued,who are apt to talk of 64 the Autocrats of Rossi-a," and the " barbarous hordes" they reign over, with a . degree of contempt incompatible with what is due to a knowledge of the frailties of our common nature, and which neither belongs to nor ought to be practised by those who duly appreciate the relative situation of men in society, or socie ties, as compared with each other. The events which have just transpired in Russia are of a nature, we think, not only to rescue that people, and the family of its Sovereign, from the sneers of civilization, but are calculated to furnish a not unusual lesson to the political states of England, France, and Spain.--- The character of ."Alexander has not yet become the impartial subject of History. Whether it has been fairly estimated in this and other coon tries, time will show ; but that he has been the benefactor of his own country, and that he is alike honoured, loved, and deplored, both by his people and by his family, there appears to be no doubt. The letters of his Empress to his mother possess a natural pathos seldom equalled, and never surpassed by the feelingsof persons similar ly situated in more polished states while his loss seems to be lamented with a sincerity of grief which bears the truest testimony to deserts which even the Princes of civilized States would not disgrace themselves•by rivalling. Nor ought the conduct of his brothers to be overlooked when contemplating the scenes which are passing in theie regions of supposed barbarity. Fl re we witness no struggle for Empire—no rushing to power, as the sole object of ambition—hut an ap parent self.denial and devotion, of which, though the details are as yet but imperfectly known, yet they are sufficiently so to rescue the chief actors in them from that kind of rational opprobrium to which we have alluded. The truth, we suspect, is, that the Russian character has never been truly estimated in this country. One of the most agreeable and accomplished tra vellers (Dr. Clarke), whose talents, enterprise, and research, can never be too highly ap• pleuritic!, has suffered his valuable work to be tarnished by a jaundiced and resentful view of the people, their country, their Nobles, and Princes, and which work, from the high cha racier nil authority it so justly bears, must have considerable eff ec t in inoculating its readers with its prejudices in common with its facts. By those w! o decry the character of the Russians, we shall, perhaps, he referred to the murder of Paul, and to other events in their history, which reflect but little credit on their annals. But do those who rely on such instances as these imagine that the present state of Spain, the atrocities which accompanied the French Revolution, or that the riots of 1780, arid the other disgraceful enormities of English mobs, place the civilized countries of Spain, France, and England so much higher in the comparative scale of social advancement as they would have us believe? I n fact, the most civilized countries have much more to learn than to boast of. If the arts which administer to refinement and luxury were the harbingers of moral excellence, civiliza tion might well boast of its effects ; but as it is, we are much mistaken if barbarians, as they are called, do not often furnish lessons which those who despise them would be better employed in imitating.

Mr. Charles Newnian, a respectable oilman in Fore-street, Cripplegate, applied to Mr. Alderman BIRCH, for his advice as to the manner in which he should proceed under the follow ing circumstances :—A few dayi ago, he purchased some flour of Mrs. Wright,. a baker, residing in the same street, which upon being made up into a pudding, was discovered to contain some gritty substance. He immediately applied to Mrs. Wright upon the subject, who declared that she had served him with the same description of flour that they made into bread, and yet ,no such grit was perceptible therein. She however ascertained herself that there was some unusual mixture in it, and said she would desist from using any more of the 15 sacks of it then in the bakehouse. He had taken a portion of tee flour to Mr. Clarke, Of Apothecaries-Hall, to be analyzed, and had been informed by him, that it contained a 28th part of earthy matter, that another, and the principal, part of it was bean-flour, and that it was every impure article. Mrs. Wright paid the very best price for this flour, and he had no doubt whatever that she had not the slightest suspicion of its base qualities. This opinion of his respecting Mrs. Wright, he had been informed by 111 r. Payne, the clerk, would prevent him from originating any proceeding for the tracing and Punishing .of the party who had actually adulterated the flour. The flour, it appeare d from the marks on the sacks, had come from Mr. Simmons's mill, in Broad-street, Reading; but Mrs. Wright purchased it-froni Messrs. Lewin, flour-factors. Mr. Simmons had heard of the discovery, and denied that any adulteration had taken place at his mill. Mr. I3eresford, the Magistrates' legal adviser, said it was a subject well deserving of serious inquiry ; but that inquiry must be instituted in a legal manner, and the first step must be to get a regular-written information drawn up and filled by a solicitor, upon which the Alderman would summon the party complained of before him. Mr. Alderman BIRCH thought that if Mr. Newman ac. quitted Mrs. Wright of all blame, he certainly could not make her a defendant here, even to trace out, through her, in whose hand the flour had been adulterated ; hut perhaps Mrs. Wright herself would be the proper person to origlnate the prosecution, and she had better attend before him ohe fol lowing day. On the following day a Miss Wright appeared on the part of her mother ; but instead of preferring any complaint, she merely referred the Magistrate to a gentleman who attended as from the firm of the' factors. This gentleman called nn Mr. Newman to repeat his state ment, which he did in nearly the same terms as on the day before. The former then complained that he had been taken by surprise with regard to the time for meeting this accusation ; and he felt somewhat at a loss also on account of the applicant not having obtained the result of Mr. Clarke's analysis in writing. The matter should not rent here. He would prose cute Mr. Newman for the slanders he had circulated; for he had reported, at first, that the flour contained a large portion of plaster of Paris ; and also, that Mr. Langstaff, the eminent sur. geon, had stated that no medicine could counteract the injury that would be occasioned to the human frame from taking such a composition into the stomach. The gentleman then vouched for the purity of the article, and alluded to the evidence with which, if he had had suffitient notice, he should have met the charge; but which apparently did not go so much to negative the imputation that the flour had been adulterated by some body, as to relieve the miller, whose mark was upcin the sacks, from the odium of having been the adulterator—viz, the miller himself, who would produce the three men employed in hismill to swear that no adulteration ever took place there, and, se condly!, the bringing forward persons who had been supplied with flour from Simmons's Reading mill; and who had never complained or heard complaint of it. The gentleman added, j that he courted inquiry, and that sin sacks were now at Mrs: `Fright's (Mrs. Wright had admitted having fifteen), and were open for examination. Mr. Newman denied that he had circulated either of the al leged reports; and as what he had done had been in the cha racter of a friend to Mrs. Wright, and for the good of the pub. lie. he thought it very hard that he should be pulled to pieces by millers and factors, and run into expensive We-suits. He had already paid out of his pocket the expense of analyzing the pudding, a piece of which he now offered for the Magistrate's inspection. Mr. Alderman BIRCH said, if Mrs. Wright did not prefer any complaint, he had no power to interfere; and if it were not to be followed by some legal proceding, he would not listen to any further conversation. The parties then retired, the flour.factor persisting wrath fully that he would bring Mr. Newman into a superior court. Partner, foreman to Air. Lloyd, a town carman, was put to the bar under the following singular circumstances : Mr. Eding, a merchant in the Minories, was applied to a few days since by a Mr. Weiler, who recommended to him as a capital speculation, the purchasing of some old Dutch hats which had arrived invoiced at only 265., while the cotton. printers. by whom they are used, would readily give 345. per dozen for them. He named Sir Robert Peel and a number of other extensive manufacturer'', who, upon being written to, would probably becOme purchasers. Mr. Eding immediately wrote to the persons named, but only received an answer from one of them, giving an order for six dozen. On Tuesday, however, the prisoner came, representing himself to be in the service of one of the calico-priqtere at Mitcham, and said he wanted to buy 40 or 60 dozen of old Dutch hats. After some haggling; a bargain was struck at 84e. a dozen, and the pri soner being .asked if he had the money about him, admitted that he had not, but said lie would go and get it in a few mi. nutes. He returned in half an hour, and being again asked if he had the money, pointed to his breast, and said, " Yew, it is all rig' t." Mr. Eding then dispatched his clerk, who upon paying the 265. a dozen, amounting on the lot to upwards of 701. got the said old hats 'cleared through the Customs, and from the wharf, and brought them to the door in a cart. The pri. soner had, in the interim, although he had expressed a wish to go, been detained at the counting-house; and upon the goods coming to the door, he was informed of the fact, and asked for the money. The prisoner then ccrifessedhe had no money, and under a promise of forgiveness, stated that Mr. Weiler hired him as he was waiting for a job at the East India warehouses. in Fenchurch.street, and told him if he would play the mer chant for a little while, lie would put three or four pounds into his pocket. He had never, seen him before, and knew not where to find him now, but all he had done had been under his instruction. Mr. Eding gave the prisoner into custody, merely that he , might be. compelled to give security for his appearance as, a witness, when Weiler should be fund ; Weiler having entrapped Mr. Eding into giving 2f3e. a dozen for an article that never fetched more than 6s. a dozen among the calico printers. Mr. Altlerman limas said, that he had no power to bind over the prisoner as a witness, nor to call on hint to find sure. ties as such. If Mr. Eding washed to detain the prisoner, he might indict him for a conspiracy with Weiler, and when Weiler was found lie might make the prisoner a witness. Mr. Feting said he would not indict the prisoner, *cam* Jhe had been merely the dupe of the other party, but he thought the refusal of his application very extraordinary. Mr. Alderman finical said, it would be impossible to con. cede what he required. To call upon a man to find bail to give evidence against another not in custody nor indicted, would In. deed be an extraordinary proceeding.—The prisoner was then discharged. BOW-STREET. Yesterday John William Maltby was brought up on a war. rant by Libetter, charged under the following peculiar chum. ' stances appeared from the deposition of the prosecutor, Mr. John Wearthy, residing in Cecil-street, Strand, that in the Month of July last, on perusing the Times newspaper, he ob- served an advertisement of two bay gelding' (carriage horses) for sale, warranted in every respect, to' be seen at the 'King's Ilead, Russell-street, Covent-garden, .where the owner night he referred to. Such a pair of horses as these were described to be was what Mr. M'Carthy had long been on the look-out for, and immediately embracing ,the opportunity, he went to the 'tables of the King's flead, where the prisoner wait introduced to him us the owner of the horses, and on his warranting them to be sound wind and liMb, the prosecutor purchased the pair for 160 guineas, a receipt for which sum was handed over to' him by the prisoner, signed J. W. Maltby. Two days, how ever, after the purchase bad taken plaCe . , one of the liors, though warranted sound, became sick and totally unfit for use, whereupon Mr; .M'Carthy several times went to the .stables, but could not find the prisoner till:Above a month had expired. When at last he - saw the prisener, and mentioned . the unsound state of one of the horses, he offered to exchange it, at the same time showing Mr. Al 'earthy another horse, the pedigr ee o f which he d ec l are d t o be excellent, he h a vi ng b re d i t hi mself, and warranted it to have " neither fault nor bl em i a b," A nd for which M r . M'Carthy paid 26 guineas with the horse con. Plained of in. exchange ; but at the very first trial wade of it in harness the animal lay down in the street, find was altogether unfit for the purpose of the prosecutor ; he 'therefore called again on the prisoner,and stated that he was.about to leave this :country, and would disp?ae of the pair of horses fur I 10 .go i neu, at the same time observlng that he was paying ten guineas per month for their Iteeti, although they wire perfectly useless to hitn. .On -this the prisoner said he would keep them for half that money, and AS their coats were in ,ft very rough _ state, h e would get t h eir in order for sale, to which pr a p osu r cuter assented; but at the stone time gave positive 'tau-actions that the horses should not be disposed of, nor;even moved from their stable, .unleas orders to that effect, were received from hiM: A few days after, On going t o the Stables, r. - Altera thy' found that bat M h the horses and' prisoner were gone, , nor could be obtain any tidings of them, A wttrratat was taken out on the 24th of December, but no trace of the prisoner could be found until yesterday morning, when he :vas appro. hended in the New -cut, Lambeth. On being contrJnted with the prosecutor; the prisoner at once conf e ssed that he had told the horses for 1001., which he offered to refund as soon as it should be in his power, provided no steps were taken against him.—The prisoner, in his defence, declared that the hors" were pressed upon him, contrary to his inclination, •by Mr. Al 4 Carthy, for him to dispose of, which he had done, antl,re ceived the money. It was not in his power to pay for them at present, but it had always been his intention to do so, -ant he would the moment he could. Mr. M'earthy saying that if time were given hini bs aoulit produce another witness to the transaction, the prisoner was remanded till this day. MARI.BOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Rol, the sluing lilagi;trate at this office, was Taster-. day some time occupied in the' investigation of a case which in• volved the sudden flight or disappearance of a 1 0 1 . 1 44 England note, the property of the illarchioness Cort.wiffiti. % young man in the service of a grocer, who 'supplies the establishment of the Marchiones* with groceries, was charged on suspicion of having stolen the said 101. note under the tot% lowing circumstances:--A young woman who lives as cook in the establishment of the Marchioness Cornwallis, stated, that on Wednesday this young man came from the grocer who sup plies the house, to receive payment of a s m a ll bill which she was to pay him, and she invited him dow n i n t o the kitchen sh e that purpose. When he entered the kitch en first, di" ' vas ," woman there who had come with some vegetables irowt green-grocer's, but she went away Almost immediately after., —she (the cook) took out her purse, in which there was a 1" Bank of England note, given to herby the Alarchioncs, to Pal some bills, and she had in it also sonic other money; Ilavitgr occasion to go for a moment into the pantry, she laid her puree, with its contents, upon the kitchen table, leaving no on e in the kitchen during her absence but the grocer's young man, and °S her return from the pantry, and taking up her purse to pay the grocer's bill, she discovered that the 101. note had bees ab• stracted, and there was no other person on whom she could rest her suspicion except this young man. The young man in his defence said, that the cook's account of the transaction was altogether erroneous. In the first place, he denied that the cook ever quitted the kitchen at all while he remained in the house, or retired to the pantry as she had der scribed; and in the next place he said that the greengrocer's woman remained .behind him in the kitchen, and had been in it all the *hue that he had been there, so that it was impossible for him, if he felt ever so inclined, to take the note without her observing him. The )lung man's master said that he could not suspect the accused of any act of the kind ; he had been for some years is his service, and had had the care of hundreds of pounds corn mined to him frequently, and he was never known to beqpilrY of an irregularity. Besides, he was a young man of the most dly and ecoaoinical habits. He never went out at all in the evenings, or has any inclination for expensive society; and s cairect and steady was he in his entire conduct, that his former employer, as well as his' present, had made him several pro- Gents, and the young man had also, by his industry and eco nomy, saved a good sum of money.

The matte readily entered into such engagement, and the young men wm l for the present discharged. The cook, the whole time she was in the office, never essase crying bitterly, so that her fitie and eyes were inflanha remarkable manner. MARYLEBONE-OFPICE.
